Multicam, in my opinion, is the hardest form of acting.
I think you're not giving yourself enough credit.
I think I agree with you the idea that if the joke's there, you can land it.
But think about it like this with stand-up, right?
Woody Allen once said, I used to think it was as easy as just writing a good joke and if I said it, it was fine.
He goes, then I realized that wasn't the case.
I had to write good jokes that were of my personality.
And that's why I'm so enamored by guys that are good at multi-cam sitcom acting because they're writing something for a character you're playing.
And it's knowing how to land the joke but also making it believable.
I'm in awe of Kevin James.
You watch King of Queens, and I'm like, Jesus Christ, he delivered that line.
that nine out of 10 other people, it would be in no way organic or believable, that choice he just made.
And he does it in a way where you believe that's actually who this person is, and it gets a laugh.
Yeah, that was one of the last of the great sitcoms.
No, but my buddy Pat, I just mentioned, works on that show, actually.
